DJ Mix | Abstract Science Best of 2012

Year-End selections from hosts Chris Widman, Luke Stokes, Henry Self and Dialogue Inc's Mister Joshua

While we quietly toil behind the scenes, attempting to get our Year in Review | 2012 podcast up and available to you all sometime before March—ugh...—we wanted to tide you over with this marathon four-hour radio feature from our very own Mister Joshua and his cohorts at Abstract Science, which broadcasts on WLUW 88.7 FM here in Chicago.

Spanning house, techno, bass, ambient and everything in between, it's an impressive cross section of a lot of great music from the past 12 months, and a marathon listen that will yield a musical discovery for anyone brave enough to press play. We're involved in the show and even we made discoveries.
